Split Rubber ......!

Drivers door seal ( nasty minded people .!!)

was cleaning the car last week and noticed this split in the Drivers door rubber seal about halfway down the window .

Was passing the dealer later in the day Mrs M busy shopping in town showed them the split ,book it in for next week sir.

Took it in 2 cups of coffee and a short stroll around the new models (cars.. ) Job done ..
Car now 2.5 years old no question at all .

The rubber seal round the rear hatch opening is coming apart at the bottom (along the sill). Not helped by my big labrador leaping in and out but I have to say it looks a pretty flimsy piece of rubber for an area that takes maximum punishment (sliding luggage in and out).

However, I think that's my only criticism of the car!

My drivers door seal has split like that but at the bottom edge, I assumed it was caused by catching the seal with "my"foot

The seals can split when its frosty. My boot seal did and was replaced under warranty.

The rear hatch rubber seal on my last FL2 was ripped by my labradors jumping in/out. Think Dan at Duckworths quoted £30+ for a new seal but I never got around to replacing it before I sold the vehicle. I now use a cheap floor mat from Lidl to protect the whole rear entrance. 11 GS Bali Blue

I don't know about the quality being used as I had 3 sets of rear door seals on my MY12 as they kept dropping off
